Enabling Managed Identity for an Azure Logic App involves a few straightforward steps. Here's how you can do it:
1. Navigate to Your Logic App in Azure Portal:
- Open the Azure portal and go to your Logic App. If you haven't created one yet, you can create a new Logic App by navigating to the Logic Apps section.
2. Enable Managed Identity:
- Once in your Logic App, click on Settings in the left menu and select Identity.
- You will see two options: System assigned and User assigned managed identities.
3. Choose Your Managed Identity Type:
- System Assigned Managed Identity: This identity is tied directly to your Logic App and is deleted when the app is deleted. To enable it, toggle the Status to On and save the changes. This will automatically create a service principal in Azure AD.
- User Assigned Managed Identity: This type of identity is not tied to a specific resource and can be shared among multiple resources. You need to create it separately before assigning it to your Logic App.
4. Assign Roles to the Managed Identity:
- After enabling the managed identity, you need to assign roles to it so that it can access other Azure resources. For example, if your Logic App needs to access Azure Key Vault, you would add a role like "Key Vault Reader" to the managed identity.
5. Use Managed Identity in Triggers and Actions:
- Once the managed identity is set up, you can use it to authenticate with Azure resources in your Logic App workflows. Select actions or triggers that support managed identity authentication and configure them accordingly.
By following these steps, you can securely authenticate your Azure Logic App with other Azure services without managing credentials manually.
